I am very much still interested in joining in this roleplay, especially if there is this much interest and everyone stays for the duration.

I just wanted to know if you thought a druid would fit into the story. By druid I mean the can control the elements, commune with all plants and animals type of character. 
Maybe even going so far as to make him the medical expert for the team if there is not already one coming out of the woodwork.

If the idea of a druid sounds alright I will continue with the character sheet I have started.
If not then I will have to come up with another character.
